The Birthday Party
to an increasingly unbearable Nick Cave, dressed in a suit and tie, "I only listen to classical music" and I'm a great writer, someone should show him this The Birthday Party - Fears of Gun Live and remind him what it means to have a soul. more
Samaris
My music pusher has been praising this group for a few months now. They come from Iceland, a magical potion of slow-beat electronics, exoticism, siren songs, and the magic that this land emanates. After listening to their self-titled debut album, a collection of singles, I feel compelled to say that my music pusher usually misses the mark, but this time he hit the bullseye. A band to keep an eye on. Samaris - VögguDub  more
The Fall -The Peel Sessions
The original version is essential just like the historic "Witch Trials," but even better (if possible) is "The COMPLETE Peel Sessions," which in 6 CDs gathers everything there is to gather from '78 to 2004: over seven hours of Fall, one of the greatest releases of the last decade. more
Living Colour -Time's Up
"Funk-metal"...? - reductive. Here we’re dealing with a STRA-Disco based on one of the most explosive CROSSOVERS ever played. And with Vernon Reid in the role of a futuristic and visionary Hendrix, incendiary lyrics about sex, politics, and religion travel at the same speed as a furiously brilliant electric guitar. more
Pearl Jam -No Code
The soul of Pearl Jam. Electroacoustic, meditative, epic but without any false rhetoric, rather insisting on emotional sincerity. more
Pantera
The greatest of all time more
Beastie Boys -Paul's Boutique
Miles Davis loved this album. And he was right to. The first great masterpiece by these 3 crazies, after the ridiculous debut "Licensed To III." more
Minutemen -The Punch Line
Initially, I rated it a 4 for this, but thinking it over, I’d say a 5 is well-deserved for such an album. 18 very short tracks (it lasts 15 minutes...) packed with acrobatic evolutions from the magnificent trio shot at high speed with exceptional skill. Even back in 1981, they were much more than "Hardcore." more
Pupo
His albums are recommended in the pre-asshole phase. more
David Gilmour Girls
I had heard the name Sonic Youth before, and today I found a link to them on a fun little page that, along with material from the "great idols," occasionally dives into something different. I thought it's now or never. So, I listened to almost all of Daydream Nation... I'd say as harmless as chamomile when you don’t even need it. Eliminated. more
Loop
they have something hypnotic, something that acts on the brain and tends to stupefy those who listen to them more
Negazione -Condannati a morte nel vostro quieto vivere
Rage, blind fury, malaise, madness, despair. 11 minutes at breakneck speed, absolutely mind-blowing. "We" through the ages. more
Bathory
Dad!!!!! more
Beastie Boys
A loud kick in the ass more
Dargen D'Amico
I prefer Ilaria. more
Negazione -Tutti Pazzi
These EPs are awesome. "Niente" and "Tutti pazzi" (especially the latter) are masterpieces. But the 1984 EP "Mucchio selvaggio" (which I don't have an original of) is even better; it sounds like crap and is even more insane. more
Alan McGee
this human being is the English music of the last 30 years. A legend has it that in '88 he threw Bobby Gillespie out of the offices of his "Creation" for wearing a Guns'n'Roses t-shirt. Many unforgettable pages of English rock have been written with his pen. more
Negazione
Extraordinary. Their EPs are among the most beautiful ever; I think of "Mucchio selvaggio" and "Condannati a morte nel vostro quieto vivere," but even "Tutti pazzi" makes a damn good impression. more
Love
So much LSD, yeah. more
Grateful Dead
Live/Dead among the best Live albums of all time. more
